Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 2709 Andrew sheathed his sword and plopped down beside Mikayla. Then, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and grinned. He said, "That's the only way. Otherwise, that old mutt Lorenzo would already be dead." Jerome smirked and glanced at Mikayla, who lay beside Andrew with a face full of rage and despair. He did not say a word as he quietly walked off to the side, ready in case Lorenzo circled back. He was a seasoned veteran who always planned for everything, even the things others ignored.

Andrew felt at ease with Jerome nearby because having a martial artist like him around meant Andrew barely needed to worry. One Jerome was worth a few hundred trained martial artists. Eric walked over, shrugging as he said, "Koda took a direct palm strike from Lorenzo and somehow didn't die. That's pretty damn impressive." Andrew glanced toward the distance where Koda was being lifted off the ground by his men. He was still laughing like a madman, completely ignoring the blood dripping off him.

"The Advanced Medical Institute is finally mine," Koda cackled, ---- and his men cheered along with him. Andrew did not care either way. Koda had earned a moment of happiness, but only for a moment. Because soon enough, he would show Koda who actually ran the Advanced Medical Institute. Andrew's strategy mirrored Lorenzo's perfectly. Support the internal faction, let them think they won, and then take the throne from right under them. The only difference was that Andrew won, while Lorenzo ended up failing miserably, losing everything he thought he had already secured.

"Andrew, my dad, the Owens family, and Mr. Vazquez will never let you walk away from this," Mikayla cried, clutching her stomach as pain twisted her face. Her voice was full of hatred and fear. Andrew took a breath, then turned toward her. He hooked a finger under her sharp chin and clicked his tongue. "Such a gorgeous face... Too bad you're about to end up as dust and bones. Mikayla, don't blame me for being ruthless. You kept pushing your luck, so | can't keep you around." Mikayla snapped back, "Andrew, do you even dare kill me?

If you do, the Owens family won't stop until you're dead!" Andrew nodded as if he agreed. "You're right. Killing you would ---- create a lot of trouble. It might even trigger a chain reaction that drags the entire Lloyd royal family into this mess." Mikayla sneered and opened her mouth to say something. However, Andrew released her chin and continued coldly. "But just because | shouldn't kill you doesn't mean others can't. For example, Koda and his men. And even if they can't kill you, they can still ruin you... Breaking you, humiliating you, turning you into auseless shell...

that wouldn't be difficult at all." Mikayla's entire body shook as the color drained from her face. Y-You wouldn't dare..." Andrew lifted a hand, and Eric immediately pulled him to his feet. Andrew dusted off his pants, picked up Godslayer, and walked toward Koda and his ecstatic crew. "She's yours. You guys worked hard. You deserve to enjoy yourself." Koda's men immediately turned toward Mikayla like starving wolves, their eyes full of hunger. Killing her was not nearly as appealing as what they had in mind first. "No, Andrew, come back! Get back here!" Mikayla screamed, her voice cracking.

"No! No, please!" Real fear finally hit her as she began scrambling backward, sobbing uncontrollably.
